The posterior boundary layer, or vitreous lamella, appearsas a glassy structureless membrane, about 2 (i in thickness, whichstretches over the posterior surface of the stroma and supportsthe pigment-layer: in the nature of its substance this structureclosely approaches elastic tissue. The pigment-layer, or pars iridica retinae, is usually so densely.

The anterior or outer layer is formed of radially-arranged spindle-cells which pass without interruption from theciliary border of the iris to the pupillary margin ; at the ciliaryborder the cells change their form and arrangement, becomingpolyhedral and circularly disposed and continuous with the lowpigmented elements constituting the corresponding layer of theciliary processes. The posterior layer presents a thicker zone (30-35 m) of pig-mented cells, in which the colored particles are so densely packedthat the cell-boundaries and the nuclei are completely masked, the
